I worked with a Scott that was awful. He was on-call one weekend but didn't feel like actually leaving the house when there was an emergency, so he called a new hire that was junior to him who he was not in a management position over and told him to go on-site. I was in a management position over the both of them, so when I learned he did it I made sure Scott took over four of the new hire's on-call weekends once he was in the rotation. Fuck you Scott, don't take advantage of new hires.
Scott later had a bit of very important of project work. He was a senior IT dude and the project called for senior-level knowledge. The motherfucker took the time that he was supposed to do the project work that I worked hard to carve out for him and just fucked off. Didn't matter that I had coordinated a downtime window with multiple vendors, the client and the client's clients, he just did not do the work. When asked why he didn't he simply said "Oh, I'll get to it." I sent him the email chain where he had acknowledged the downtime window and asked how he would do that. He never got back to me, as he had been called into a meeting where he got fired for OTHER SHIT. Fuck you Scott, I'm the reason your unemployment insurance claim was rejected. The other managers didn't want to fight it but when I brought up the on-call shenanigans they all got on board with giving you the finger.
What an absolute bellend.
Kevin. "I thought you knew I wasn't serious about the instructions I just gave you." Also: "I hate you. Just kidding." I hope you're even more miserable than you were, Kevin.
When I worked in the south we had a fellow that decided because he got fired by a black woman that everyone was a racist despite there being zero racial tension in the store other than his personal vendetta. He came back and tried to murder the most patently inoffensive skinny white dude in the the parking lot. He throttled him and was yelling he was an ___ lover because he was friendly with everyone. So its 1AM at Walmart and I go charging across the parking lot with zero plan. I ended up getting his attention then backpedaling at which point his victim had fled and he realized there was nothing else to do and ran off himself. I tried to give the cop the shirt that somehow rednecks feel like they need to shed before they "get physical" with someone and got only an offended look in return. They didn't even take a statement.
Same Walmart we had a fellow that was very clearly a recovering addict of some kind who want from hyper religious praise Jeebus to sullen and increasingly angry. He got to the point where he was showing up to get paid but wouldn't do much work and would ride his bike around the backroom. I remember him becoming convinced we were all Satanic because we were talking about a fantasy setting. He told us we need to find Jesus I quiped "Does he provide an experience bonus" Not long after that we had cops monitoring the exit to ensure nobody got murdered on the way out. I'm not sure exactly what he said when they fired him but I understand threats were made.
Same store there was the boss who turned on the electic door motor while I was fixing it causing the little hand crank to go flying across the room like a spear.
Then there was the fellow who would just NOT stop stealing shit like blatantly who was eventually at long last fired for stealing root beer.
Definitely the married one who clearly wanted to fuck me. I did not enjoy hearing about her marital problems or being told how good I looked. Was definitely like the whole, rule one of flirting be attractive situation though. Would of made me a lot less uncomfortable if she wasn't disgusting.
I mean, you want his name? I got his name. Oooh, made me shiver just now.
I wish I had an answer besides it being a tie between all of them, but sadly they're all that bad.
